Installing v5.3.0.00090 fails

I am trying to go from v5.2.0.00069 to the latest. The old version was installed from a downloaded offline installation, and the new one is also downloaded (I had no end of trouble with the built-in upgrade so am never trying that again).

The existing installation has a bug where it allways does a full rebuild so I thought lets risk an upgrade.

Once bitten ... so I was a lot more careful this time, I have a full system image backup so I can get out of it, but lets see if it can work this time.

I downloaded the installer, unpacked it and ran it, didn't change anything, let it have defaults like c:\ti.

It detected the existing installation and was happy to install over the top - or at least that is what it said, every time I try it I ends up at Failed to install eclipse. Cannot recover from this error".

It sounds like insufficient disk space but the lowest I have on any hard drive is 35 GB.

  • Emboldened by having a fresh image file I tried the "Check for updates" in the help menu.

    It found loads of stuff, downloaded it all and asked me to restart CCS, it came back straight into a setup program that failed with this error.

    Error in startup script
    unknown encoding "cp1252"    
    while executing "encoding system $enc"    
    (file "/installkitvfs/main.tcl" line 4)

    I should explain I have a pretty clean installation, to recover from the last upgrade I had to uninstall all ti stuff, wiped all ti and windjamer folders and uninstalled all JREs. then it was a clean install from downloaded files to get it useable again - albeit with compulosory rebuild alls.

    But hey - progress, after this latest failed upgrade I still have the orinial CCS version (which now says no upgrades are available) but it has fixed the compulsory rebuild all bug.

  • Hi Chris,

    I hope the following two points will clarify what you see and help you understand, even if unfortunately one is a bug you have hit.

    - there is a bug when installing CCS over old installations in that eclipse itself does not get handled properly.   So you should keep your installation and put v5 as a separae installation in a fresh directory

    - CCS v5.2 to 5.3 as a upgrade is something that we hope to provide soon.

    Does this help?  Sorry for the issues that you have been seeing.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • Hi Lisa,

    These would seem to be conditions the installer could detect and warn of, rather than detecting them and saying it is something it is happy to work with.

    I did look at the seperate folder option but I could foresee problems, right now I have v5.x and v3.3 and all the various libraries in one place, c:\ti, if I could install to c:\ti\ccs53 that would be ok, but if I have to put it in c:\ti53\ccs5 (it only lets me set the root) then I would I have to reinstall (rebuild and modify) all the libraries I use again?

    Would there be any use in installing and maintaining eclipse seperatrly and then just installing CCS as a plugin?

    Chris

     

  • Hi Chris,

    yes trying the one extra directory level should help.  Keep us informed how it goes.   I would not recommend, unless you have a strong specific reason, to install CCS as a plug-in.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

  • The eclipse installation kept failing for me until a separate folder was created as suggested.

    Is there a known issue with using EABI and the 4.1.2 compilier?  When EABI is enabled, the linker places data values into the code space.

    ".data      : {} > RAM" is in the linker file.

    COFF doesn't have this issue.

  • The aborted 5.3 installation fixed the continuous rebuild issue I had in 5.2, so I just updated libraries and CGTs.

    Now it all works - I will not touch anything again.

    Maybe v5.4...

    Chris

  • Hi Chris,

    great, glad to hear and all the best with development.  Thanks for the update.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

  • Lisa TI said:

    Lisa, I was looking for information on installing CCS as a plug-in when I found your reply to Chris. As a consultant, I'm tired of different tools for different projects/customers (last time I counted using 6 or more). I want to get to a single development environment as much as practical and Eclipse seems the practical option.

    What are the issues using CCS as an Eclipse plug-in?

    What "strong specific reasons" would merit using it as an Eclipse plug-in?

    Thanks in advance!

    -Joe

  • Hi Joe,

    I did not write that due to issues, but rather ease of use.  For example many things that are automatic in CCS, are available and working in the plug in version but not automatic.   Also you have to have a specific eclipse version as a base.

    That's essentially it.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa
